The film follows Kate McQuean (played by Cindy Crawford), a Miami lawyer who becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse after witnessing a murder committed by a group of corrupt former KGB agents led by Ilya Kazak (played by Steven Berkoff). As the sole witness to the crime, Kate finds herself targeted for assassination by Kazak and his henchmen.
To protect Kate, the authorities assign Miami detective Max Kirkpatrick (played by William Baldwin) to serve as her bodyguard. Despite initial friction between them, Kate and Max must work together to evade Kazak’s relentless pursuit and uncover the truth behind the conspiracy.
As Kate and Max race against time to unravel the mystery, they uncover a web of corruption that reaches the highest levels of government and law enforcement. Along the way, they face numerous obstacles and betrayals, including attempts on their lives and interference from corrupt officials.
In the film’s climax, Kate and Max confront Kazak and his men in a dramatic showdown, culminating in a thrilling fight aboard a speeding train. With courage and determination, they manage to defeat their adversaries and bring them to justice, ensuring that the truth prevails.
“Fair Game” received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its action sequences and Crawford’s performance, but criticism for its clichéd plot and lack of depth. Despite this, the film was a modest box office success, grossing over $11 million worldwide. It has since gained a cult following among fans of action-thriller films from the 1990s.
